Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424848 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1604867. Selection criteria are based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 1604867 is obsolete, while 1424848 is active and currently manufactured. For new designs and ongoing procurement, 1424848 is the appropriate selection.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements.

Environmental Protection: The 1424848 provides enhanced ingress protection at IP66/IP67 compared to the IP65 rating of the original part. This upgrade offers superior dust and water resistance without compromising mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical connector type, size designation (B32), thread interface (M32), and locking mechanism ensure direct mechanical interchangeability.

Thermal Performance: Both parts operate across the identical -40°C to 125°C temperature range, maintaining thermal compatibility in all specified environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424848 directly replace the 1604867 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, size, thread specification, and locking mechanism. The 1424848 is mechanically and electrically compatible as a direct substitute.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 1424848 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) compared to the 1604867 (IP65). The substitute also includes salt water resistance and feed-through features. Both maintain identical operating temperature ranges and material composition.

Q: Why is the 1604867 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects Phoenix Contact's manufacturing lifecycle decisions. The 1424848 represents the current active offering in the HEAVYCON® B series for this connector configuration.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 1424848 has slightly larger dimensions (125.00mm L x 94.00mm W x 90.00mm H) compared to the 1604867 (124.00mm L x 81.50mm W x 72.00mm H). Verify mounting space availability in your application.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 1604867 and 1424848 operate across -40°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent environmental conditions.

Q: What packaging is available for the 1424848?

A: The 1424848 is supplied in bulk packaging, with 1116 pieces currently in stock as new original inventory.
